Which language for the Chinese market (25th Oct.06)

When thinking about starting a website involving Chinese business, there are a few considerations that you might wish to make. You need to consider for example, what market you are targetting. Are your main customers English speakers who want to trade in China or is your target market Chinese people who are looking to buy from abroad?

If you are aiming your business at people who are English speakers looking to learn about how to do business in China, i.e. how to overcome the bureaucracy etc, then English might be enough for your site. If you can also do the site in any of the Chinese languages then even better of course but at least English is a start. There are bound to be many people in the future looking for information about getting involved with Chinese business.
Information is gradually being added to www.chinese-china.cn
